12 Drinks of Christmas Day #5 Purista Cocktail Mixes + a Great Rum:
Digging this insane week between the holidays? Here's something that will smooth your Monday back at work-- since it's a short week and a longer weekend, you will need it.
Introducing 2 newer brands and both ideally suited for each other as well as for other arenas as well. These brands: :Purista Cocktail mixes and Cruzan Rum!
I love making up a pitcher of cocktails for a small group of people or a larger party simply because I do less work. I can "ball-park" the alcohol and the mix a bit more because it's not measured in small quantites but can use measuring cups which are faster and easier
Here's why you will love these two brands:
Purista: it's essentially a great mix of great quality ingredients to make a variety of cocktails in a bottle- so that no matter what quantity you need to pour, you don't have to make the drink from scratch.Purista has four mixes: Mojito
,
Blackberry Mojito,
Margarita
and Caipirinha (a Brazilian-derived drink).
According to creater/founder/master mixologist, Michael Hensel, the PURISTA line includes mixes for Mojito, Margarita, Mojito Blackberry and the Brazilian favorite Caipirinha.
"I initially created this brand because I love premium cocktails and unwillingly respect the pain of muddling. Starting with the Mojito, I've developed recipes that can be produced and bottled with 100% all natural ingredients, no artificial anything, and no compromise of freshness. We use Chilean blackberry juice in every Mojito Blackberry bottle and this is richly evident in the aroma, color and taste. Both our classic Mojito and Mojito Blackberry use mint leaves that are harvested from the farm 72 hours before we make our batch. And our lime juice is absolutely perfect, never stressed and never concentrated! No other mixers on the market use real mint leaves or unconcentrated lime juice. All of our mixers use golden organic sugarcane and our Margarita gets its perfect balance from hints of orange juice. This is a major coup d'état for the consumer because the orange juice eliminates the need for a triple sec or Grand Marnier. We've incorporated all of this into each bottle with absolute precision."
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the mojito mixes requires rum-- but not just any rum will do. You want the cleanest, most flavorful rum on the market and imho, that's Cruzan Rum .
Visit their site to learn "why" this rum is so special-- it's the time they take to make this without burining the taste out of the rum. I was able to meet with one of the Cruzan drink specialists and did some side by side taste tests and was highly impressed at the difference in the taste quality compared to other leading brands.
While the price tag isn't huge -- and the line might not as large as some brands-- it's definitely worth hunting this brand down for the best quality rum drinks as well as cooking with rum as a flavoring for chocolate, chicken glazes, and other various foods and desserts for the holidays.
